Have Duplex Apt Unit - Renting to dog owner ?

[Richard Chang]

Hi everyone :)

I have a 2br 2ba both Upstairs and Downstairs and frequently get calls for Tenant with a dog.

I have rented with cats ( no problems so far ) but I'm reluctant to renting to dog owners as I'm afraid of the barking dog problems and any liabilities if the dog bites someone.

Can anyone advise on situations where a dog would be acceptable and if you can determine if the dog will be a problem or not ? :roll:

So, any advice on taking a tenant with a dog ? can you try and charge more ?
Seems like a big risk to me.

Thanks, Richard C
